Rangers look to keep win streak alive, host the Islanders

- On Tuesday, the New York Rangers host the New York Islanders at Madison Square Garden, looking to extend their three-game win streak in a Metropolitan Division matchup.

- Players from both teams recently reflected on Alex Ovechkin's announcement to retire from the Capitals and NHL at season's end, with Varlamov and Sorokin praising the Russian legend who once helped Varlamov transition to North America.
